Long & Lost

Other level

Isabella had been living in the country of opportunities for years, experiencing "the American dream" but each time she saw more clearly that her dream was  was very far away from that place. At home, her real home ...
-Maybe I should go back ... or no, better not ... shit I don't know what to do- Isabella goes around her apartment while a suitcase on the bed waits to be filled. The thoughts collide in her mind, she wants to go back to London but she thinks Florence doesn't want her there anymore, she went away and left her alone, she betrayed her. Isa begins to remember the reasons for her flight to LA: Party + alcohol + Flo = confusion. She still remembers very well that last party, her farewell ...
The guys of the band had organized a surprise party for Isabella, Florence had not participated in the preparation, she had stayed at home, according to her because she had headache or something ... an inexpensive excuse not to say that what really hurt her was her soul and that she couldn't contribute to something that was breaking her inside.
Florence had been avoiding Isabella for several days ... seeing her was too painful for her. She didn't blame her for leaving her alone, nor was she angry with her, she just knew that if they talked face to face she couldn't keep what she thought, she would tell her to stay, but she felt that it would be too selfish, so she preferred to keep quiet, cry alone...
Hours before the party Isabella had decided to go see Florence. She was quite upset with the attitude her friend was taking and didn't want to leave without an apology. Isabella knocked on the door ...
-Shit, who will be now?-Florence said, loosening a tissue on the living room table and putting on her Gucci slippers from last season. She looked through the peephole and saw a blond hair, she couldn't see the face because the girl behind the door was too short ... There was no doubt, it was Isa. Florence refused to open but when she tried to walk silently back to the living room she threw a book on the floor.
-I know you're there, can you open? -
- (DAMN IT) I'm going- While Florence closed the door Isabella entered the room, everything was messy, there were tissues everywhere ... it could only mean two things.
-Have you any allegy?
-Maybe
-Don't lie to me, I know you very well Miss Welch- Florence couldn't resist anymore and she started to cry, only the few tears that she had left.
-Don't cry Flo, I thought you were angry with me but I see that this is another level- Isa said as she rushed to hug her with a tender smile.
-I'm sorry, I just can not stand it. I think it's my fault you're leaving ...
-You don't have it -She really have it. Isabella had been thinking about Flo in another way for years, not as a friend. On the tours they slept together, cuddling many times. Every time Flo laid her arm on her small body, her heart beat multiplies. She had been strong so far, but the many parties Flo drank in made everything unstable ... Florence danced, a lot, and that made her crazy. The worst thing was that she danced to her, looked her in the eyes and sometimes even kissed her. But for Florence it was just a game and Isa didn't want to break the magic, but neither she didn't want to break herself, so that's why she resumed her old desire to move to the United States- Don't worry, we'll continue meeting ... I just want to experience new things, you know.
Florence stopped crying and hugged her very tightly in her arms.
Isabella chose not to break the hug for a long time, without saying anything until her phone rang.
-Hi Rob ... Okay, I'll go- hung up the phone- Rob wants me to go, he tell something about a new piano, do you want to come with me?
-I'm going to take a shower and get ready, you can go first, I think I need to relax- Isabella nodded and reached out to dry Florence's tears ... only the slight contact between her skins made them been on fire. Isabella ran up, heading for the door, but Florence grabbed her hand, slowing her down, Isabella thought her heart would pop out of her chest.
-What? - she said turning slowly until she found the greenish eyes.
-Nothing, be careful. (DAMN IT AGAIN)
